REsURREcrloN BODY.

And az we have bone the image of the
earthly we shall also bear the image of the
heavenly.--I Cor. Ky: ~.
| The materials of our bodies are being
constantly renewed, and the great mass of
their structure changes in less than year.
At every motion of onr arm, and at every
breath we draw, portion of the muscles
! concerned is actually burnt up IN the effort
During life, in some utterly mysterious
manner, beyond the range of all human
science, the various gases and vapors of
the atmosphere, together with small
amount of a few earthly salts, are elabora-
ted into various organized structures. They
first pass into the organism of the plant,
and thence are transformed into the body
Of the animal; but no sooner are they firm
ly built into the animal tissues then de-
structiye change begins, by which before
long they are restored TO the air or the
soil, only to renew the same cycle of
ceaseless change. Life, during its whole
existence, is an untiIing builder; the oxy-
gen of the atmosphere fell destroyer; and
when at last the builders cease, then the
spirit takes ITS heayenward fight, and
leaves the frail tenement to its appointed
end. Dast returns 10 dust and these NOR
tai mists and yapors to the air.
| know that there are some who enter
tain vague fear that these well-establish-
the most cherished doctrines of the Christ
ian faith; but so far from this find that
they elucidate and confirm it, Modern
scientific discoveries have shown that our
only abiding substance is merely the pass
ing shadow of an outward form, that these
bones and muscles are dying within as
every day, that our life is an unceasing
metempsychosis, and that the final death
is but one phase of the perpetual change.
Thus the idea of a spiritual body becomes
not only possible conception, but, more
than this, it harmonzes with the whole
order of nature; and now that we can bet
ter trace the process Of growth in the or
ganic world, and understand more of their
hidden secrets, the inspired words of Paul
have acquired fresh power, and convey to
us deeper meaning than they ever gave
to the early Fathers ofthe Church. Chem
lstry has shown us that it is the form alone
(not the substance) of the mortal bodies
which is permanent, and that We retain
onr Personality under constant change; and
lastly, in organic nature, the spronting of
the seed, the breaking of the bird from the
egg, the bursting of the butterfly from the
chrysalis and ten Thousand other transfer
nations not less wonderful, which We are
daily witnessing around us, all unite their
analogy to elucidate and confirm the glor-
ious and comforting doctrine Of material
resurrection in form. Religion and Chem

now TO GET PROSPERITY.

An exchange writes some chunks of
wisdom in the following remarks:
''The man who sits down in the corner
of a field and waits for COW TO back up
to be MIXED, will go without milk all his
days. The man who prays Give MS this
day our daily bread, and sits down to the
table waiting for the Lord to come and
put bread on his plate will starye to death.
And the people who close their doors, as il
were, and expect prosperity to force an
entrance into their houses, will cruak hard
times until the devil claims his due.
You must go after the cows if you want
any milk. You must work for your bread
if you wish to cat. And you must open
your doors and invite prosperity if yon ex-
pect she will ever como near. If she don't
como ON invitation, go after her like an
Australian goes after his wife--armed with
a club-sneax up behind her, knock her
down and drag her home. After you have
once got prosperity it is comparatively
easy to keep her, but it is necessary t"
use harsh means to get her

Whether the Africans are an inferior

A NOVEL BUSINESS CAI.ESDAR AND
STAND.

BY far the most novel, convenient, and
valuable business calendar for 1883 is the
Columbia Bicycle Calendar and Stand,
inst issued by the Pope Manufacturing
Company, of Boston, Mass. In this calen-
dar new departure has been made, decid-
eddy unique and different from any pre-
vious attempt in calendar construction.
The calendar proper is in the form Of
pad, containing EGG leaves, one for each
day in the year, to be torn off daily The
leaves are 81 by % inches, and a portion of
each leaf is left blank for memoranda, so
arranged that the memorandum blank for
any coming day can be turned to immed-
lately at any time. The pad rests upon
portable stand, which takes up but little
moro room than the pad itself and when
placed upon the desk or writing table the
entire surface Of the date leaf is brought
directly, and left constantly, before the eye,
furnishing date and memoranda, irnpossi-
BILE to be overlooked Besides the month,
the day Of the month, and the day of the
week, the numbers of the DAYS of the year
passed and to come are specified, and
upon each slip appears, as in the previous
Columbia calendars, quotations pertaining
to cycling from leading publications and
prominent writers on both sides of the
ocean. The notable events in cycling are
mentioned and concise opinions OF medical
authorities; words from prominent wheel
men, including those OF clergynen and other
professional gentlemen; rights Of cyclers
upon the roads; general cycling statistics;
records; The benefits of tricycling to ladies';
information about costumes; directions for
matchmaking; and other matter interesting
to the public in general and to the cyeler
in particular, appear from day to day.
In fact it is an effective. attractive, and
fresh cycling encyclopedias, crowded into
convenient measure. A matter worth
stating is that all of the paragraphs are en-
tirely new from previous years calendars,
and that, although there seem to be but
little when read from day to day, altogeth-
er the items would make medium sized
pamphlet, and, added 10 the collections Of
other years, large volume--a collection
of quotations which shows how popular
and universal cycling is getting to be all
| over the world.

The CAUSE OF CONsUMPTIoN.-Ac-
cording to the opinion of DR.. Frank Don
aldson, of Baltimore, as expressed in
Scsence, the experimental and clinical study
of tuberculosis has established the view
that there are three factors in its causa-
ton: L. The presence of the parasite, the
tuhercle-bacillus. This factor is necessary
for the production of the disease q Her.
edity figures as a prominent element in
about 80 per cent. of the cases ordinarily
met with. 5. Mal-hygienic and debilitat-
ing agents, such as foul air, sedentary
occupations, violations of the laws of
health, and diseases, have powerful effect,
BY impairing the nutrition, in developing
the disease. Heredity and lowered vitality
cannot of themselves produce tuberculosis,
but clinically they play an important role
as factors by rendering the individual
more vulnerable to bacillary influence.
